2024 Skoda Kylaq vs Hyundai Venue — 5 features that give Skoda an edge

Launched earlier this month on November 6, 2024, the Skoda Kylaq marks the brand's first sub-4-metre SUV and serves as the entry-level model in its lineup. The Skoda Kylaq price starts at an introductory Rs 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom, India). 

However, the booking window will open on December 2, 2024, with the full range of Skoda Kylaq prices being revealed on the same day. This model will also be showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, which will take place from January 17–22, 2025. Deliveries for the Skoda Kylaq will begin on January 27, 2025.

The Hyundai Venue, a long-time player in the segment, is a direct rival to the Skoda Kylaq, and buyers may find themselves torn between this new launch and the established model. To help you decide, let’s take a look at the top 5 features where the Skoda Kylaq shines brighter than the Hyundai Venue, giving it a strong edge in this competitive market. Keep reading to explore these features in more detail!

Skoda Kylaq features a bigger infotainment system

One of the standout features in this comparison is the interior of both models. The Skoda Kylaq impresses with its 10.07-inch infotainment system, offering a large and clear display. In contrast, the Hyundai Venue comes with a slightly smaller 8-inch HD infotainment system. However, both systems are compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ensuring seamless connectivity for your devices.

2024 Skoda Kylaq gets virtual cockpit for driver display

In the Skoda Kylaq, you not only get a larger infotainment system but also an 8-inch digital cluster for the driver. In comparison, the Hyundai Venue offers a smaller, somewhat outdated 3.5-inch TFT-LCD driver display, which feels a bit behind when matched with the Kylaq's more modern setup.

Ventilated & powered seats — A step above Hyundai Venue

The Hyundai Venue offers a 4-way power-adjustable driver seat, while the Skoda Kylaq takes it a step further with a 6-way power-adjustable seat for both the driver and co-driver. This added flexibility makes the Kylaq a more customizable option for comfort.

Skoda Kylaq comes with rain-sensing wipers

The Hyundai Venue misses out on the popular rain-sensing wiper feature, instead offering a manual rear wiper and washer option. On the other hand, the Skoda Kushaq comes equipped with an automatic rain sensor, which may seem like a small detail, but it certainly adds to the overall driving experience. While it might not be a deal-breaker, this feature is one of those little things that can elevate comfort and convenience on the road.

Bigger alloy wheels for the 2024 Skoda Kylaq

The Hyundai Venue comes with an option for 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, while the Skoda Kylaq offers a larger 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheel. Both provide stylish choices, with the Kylaq offering a more premium look with its bigger size.
